Welcome to Nelson Roots

This blog will be dedicated to the collection and dispersment of information relating to the geneology of the Jay L and Afton May Nelson Family. All contributors are welcome. Our mission is to find and publish accurate information relating to our ancestory. We hope that we can collect here pictures, records of births, deaths, marriages, and confirmations, as well as other verifiable evidence of our forebearers.


Sincerely,
R. Scott and Matthew R. Nelson

Hvorslev Church

Hvorslev Church in Hvorslev, Denmark. The official religion of Denmark is the evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark and 81.5% of Danes consider themselves a member of this church. Only 31% of Danes, however, believe "there is a God." This is the church building where our Hvorslev family would have attended meetings, been married, christened, and buried.

Inside the Hvorslev church. Note the art on the walls and the altar and "baptismal font" at the front of the church.

Here are great great great grandson Jerry Nelson and his wife Zeta Nelson at the altar location where Rasmus and Anne were married almost 200 years ago (1819). Thanks to Jerry and Zeta for these pictures as they visited this area at the end of their European mission.
